Author Description
This all new edition of Trigonometry, derived from the author’s popular Algebra & Trigonometry, Third Edition, helps students visualize mathematics for better comprehension. By creating algebraic visual side-by-sides to solve various problems in the examples, the authors show students the relationship of the algebraic solution with the visual, often graphical, solution. In addition, a variety of new tools help students better use the book for maximum effectiveness to not only pass the course, but truly understand the material.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the core principles of trigonometry by bridging the gap between abstract algebraic manipulation and geometric visualization. Mervin Laverne Keedy, an experienced mathematics educator, utilizes a comparative framework that presents algebraic solutions alongside their graphical counterparts. The book is designed to assist students in developing a conceptual understanding of trigonometric functions rather than relying solely on rote memorization of formulas.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Comprehensive coverage of trigonometric functions and their properties
- Comparative methodology showing algebraic and graphical solutions side-by-side
- Integrated pedagogical tools designed for student self-assessment and comprehension
- Practical examples connecting algebraic equations to geometric representations
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Educators and students frequently note the clarity of the visual-algebraic approach in this text. It is widely regarded as a foundational resource for students seeking to strengthen their conceptual grasp of trigonometric relationships.
